In the northernmost part of the empire, there is a frozen wilderness. Just like his name, this territory is definitely a cold and barren land, but no matter how hard the place is, there will always be stronger lives on it, the frozen wasteland. Some extremely cold-resistant northern plants and trees grow sparsely. They dormant and endure in the long winter, but grow and multiply rapidly in the short spring and summer, completing their destiny as plants.
With plants, there will naturally be animals that follow. The most common animals in this frozen wasteland are moose, white bears, and ice wolves with thick fur. Because of the difficult living environment, these animals are tougher and more fierce. Otherwise, they would not be able to survive in such a harsh environment.
There is such a team of ice wolves in the wasteland today, braving the wind and snow, they have not eaten food for more than a week, and the hot hunger with their shriveled stomachs constantly stimulates their nerves and makes them feel Unprecedented irritability, and suddenly there was a human smell in the air. Human beings are definitely synonymous with enemies in their senses.
The leader of the icefield wolves barked their teeth, and suddenly screamed at the sky. The other members of the wolves immediately became highly concentrated, and took small steps to disperse to the sides. I don’t know if they are extremely hungry. Still by nature, the Wolf King signaled an attack.
The smell of human beings got closer and closer, and some young little wolves were a little restless and restless, and they were immediately stopped by the she-wolf next to them. They must be careful not to expose their body in the ambush, otherwise everything will fall short.
Finally, the sound of horseshoes, human voices, and wheels moving gradually became clear. The strong smell of humans and horses in the air made the saliva of these wolves almost drained, and hunger became their best motivation. Under the call of howling, all the wolves rushed out from where they were hiding and surrounded the crowd.
"God, there are wolves!" One person in the crowd screamed, and immediately attracted the attention of others.
"Oh, I'm going, there are wolves." The crowd immediately burst into joy, "Everyone, be careful, don't smash the wolf skin, you can peel it off and make a leather jacket, this place is too fucking cold.
The poor ice wolves didn’t know that they had turned from hunters to prey. They grinned and launched a suicidal attack towards the crowd. Under the knife and axe of the melee players, the group of wild wolves soon confessed. Now, players who have wolf skins are naturally happy, and they find hunters to help them skin them, and happily turn these hungry wolves into warm-up equipment.
Yi Xuan was sitting on the horse holding the shelf, but he envied the players in his heart. In order to increase the sense of reality, all the climates in this game are simulated in real life. Naturally, it would not be too much before in the eastern plains when the wind was drizzle, the wind was sunny. Care, but in this bitter cold place, you can suffer. Whether it is a player or an NPC like Yi Xuan, you can feel the deep biting cold. In particular, the metal armor he wore seemed to be made of ice in the cold ice and snow, making Yi Xuan cautious in every move, lest he accidentally touched him, and his frozen self was shocked.
Seeing that many players have obtained wolf skins to make warm objects such as hats and snoods, Yi Xuanxin said that if he could get one as well, even a glove.
Yi Xuan Leng scolded his mother, but these players didn't mind one by one. Although the environment of this frozen wasteland was difficult, the players who played the game for a long time knew that the more difficult the environment, the better the copy. Even if it is only the simplest five-person copy, if it is found here, its difficulty is definitely more than three levels higher than that of the plains.
After the small hunting, the convoy moved forward for a while and finally found a flat place leeward. Yi Xuan decided to set up camp here, but the thin tent obviously cannot adapt to the extreme weather, Yi Xuan After searching for the many functions of the team, I finally found various upgrade options. Yi Xuan quickly upgraded the cold protection system to the full level. The original ordinary canvas tent immediately had a thick layer of fur outside. The NPCs in the convoy were also covered with a thick leather jacket. A heater in the tent was ignited. As the fire became more and more intense, there was finally some heat in the tent, which made Yi Xuan feel a lot more comfortable. Although it was still very cold, he could bear it. Yi Xuan replaced the cold armor and put on a fur coat purchased for himself and Mary in the NPC mall. Because this fur coat has no additional attributes and other functions, the price is not too expensive.
Yi Xuan was sitting in a tent, surrounded by the stove and wearing fur. The players outside were already busy. He took the task to find out the information of the dungeon nearby. It was almost evening when all kinds of news finally began to gather. After becoming a smart NPC, Yi Xuan left many things to Mary to do, and the players were happy to deal with this beauty, so this time Mary was still collecting information, while Yi Xuan hid in the room and burned.
The front is hot and a little hot, but the back is still cold, so Yi Xuan has to turn over and roast. My heart said, in this spooky weather, I am also a northerner at any rate. This weather feels better than that of the earth. It's much colder in the north.
The thick curtains of the tent were suddenly opened, and Yi Xuan couldn't help but shivered, and hurriedly urged: "Close and close. The cold is coming in."
Mary, wrapped in fur, squeezed in from the heavy curtain. Hearing Yi Xuan's words, she immediately said angrily: "Hey, I said you are too lazy. Let us do everything by ourselves. Forget it, as your subordinate, I can bear it, but you can't even let me in, you want to freeze me to death."
While complaining, she leaned forward to the charcoal basin, let the flames warm her body, put her hand on the brazier, and let out a sigh of contentment. "It's so warm."
"Hehe." Of course, Yi Xuan knew that Mary was not angry. During this period of time, he and this quirky little woman have got along very well. I have to say that as a summoning hero, Mary still finds her place very well. Yes, there is no objection to the task given by Yi Xuan, and he will definitely follow it with full marks. Although sometimes she has a little girl's temper, she is just acting like a baby with herself.
"Ahhh, I'm not studying the map." Yi Xuan said as he closed the scroll in his hand. "How about? Has the player who went out to scout come back?"
Of course Mary won't be endless with Yi Xuan. She immediately forgot her complaint and nodded: "Well, I have come back, and they have brought back enough information. I will summarize it and report it to you." Mary pretended to straighten her body and cleared her throat before she said: "There are three copies of this frozen wilderness, two copies of five people, and one copy of ten people, all of which are level 245."
Yi Xuan was amused by the attitude of Mary's youngest daughter, and she also cooperated with her to pretend to be serious. Hearing Mary said that there was also a ten-person copy, he was immediately illuminated: "Ten-person? Great."
During this time of the journey, they have already fought two ten-man dungeons, each of which has four to five thousand reward points, which is much fatter than the five-man dungeon.
Although the difficulty is higher, it is far behind the forty-man dungeon, and because of the large number of players that Yi Xuan is following now, almost every time he swarms and kills the fire. Basically, it is not much harder for him than the five-person copy. Therefore, compared to the five-player copy, the ten-player copy is definitely very cost-effective.
Mary smiled and looked at Yi Xuan's excitement: "I know you must be happy to hear this. I have asked them to inquire about the specific content of the copy and the information of the boss. This frozen wasteland is compared to the north. It turned out that there might be more ice bosses, and some adjustments will be needed."
Yi Xuan didn’t really care about this. Anyway, there are all kinds of people among the players, but the ice type is not good. They will naturally use the fire type. He nodded and asked: "Then, except for the dungeon. Besides, is there any other power on this map?"
"En, yes." Mary said seriously: "In addition to monsters, there are four other forces that cannot be ignored. Not far from us, there is an imperial outpost with more than one hundred imperial soldiers stationed there. Then near the coast, there is an Alliance dock, where a battleship and 80 Alliance navies are stationed. Then in the north of the frozen wilderness, there is a tribe of barbarians and a tribe of frost trolls. It is said that this The two tribes have been fighting recently, so it shouldn’t have any impact on us.”
Yi Xuan, the resident of the Empire and the Alliance, was not too unexpected. He woke up along the way and found that although the Empire had only one country, there were a lot of small outposts and towns like this, and it was also to ensure his territory. , But the barbarian did not fall and the frost troll, he was the first contact, and shouldn't the barbarian be in the sphere of influence of the alliance? How can you fight a frost troll alone
"Do you know which faction the two do not fall into?" Yi Xuan asked strangely. If they belong to the alliance, they shouldn't fight, but if one of them belongs to the empire, Yi Xuan also finds it incredible.
"The Barbarian Tribe and the Frost Troll Tribe are both in the neutral camp." Mary looked at Yi Xuan with a smile as if you didn't know it.
"Neutral camp?" Yi Xuan was really taken aback.
"Yes, they actually belong to the Ice Plains race. They are no longer within the sphere of influence of the Alliance or the Empire. In this ice purgatory, they belong to the indigenous people. Only they can move freely in the snowstorm and are not restricted by the severe cold weather. Because of the extreme cold weather in this land, the Alliance and the Empire did not dare to attack rashly. Although garrisons were stationed, they did not have actual ownership rights. However, it seems that both the Empire and the Alliance want to gain a foothold in this land. , So they all sent people to win them over."
Yi Xuan nodded and motioned to Mary to continue. The red flames set off Mary’s face, and Mary continued: "Well, due to the racial traits, barbarians are pro-imperial, because barbarians are so grown-ups. It’s almost as small as people, but it’s taller and stronger. If you put it in a crowd, sometimes you won’t even see the difference.
The Frost Troll is completely different from humans, so naturally it is closer to the Alliance. As a result, the situation on both sides immediately became the same. In addition, the two tribes were already hostile to each other, and the Alliance and the Empire took advantage of this, and the two sides continued to encourage each other, so it seemed that they were about to go to war recently. "
"Oh, that's the case." Yi Xuan nodded. Although it is the first time that they have encountered neutral forces, as long as they don't interfere with their plan to play dungeons, they don't need to care too much, so he said lightly: "With the player Just talk about it, just pay close attention. The two of them have nothing to do with us in the war. Anyway, we came here, just to level the three copies, and then we can naturally leave."
"Well, ok, I will let the players pay attention." Now what Mary does with the players is much more convenient than Yi Xuan.
"Then, let's talk about the three copies first, especially the ten-person copy. Tell me more." Yi Xuan's attention was focused on the copy again.
"Okay, the two five-person copies, one is the Snow Monster Cavern, the other is the Frozen Canyon. And the ten-person copy is the Glacier Fortress.
The first two dungeons are very easy to deal with. One of the monsters in it is mainly snow monsters, and the other is mainly snow spiders. There is no special ability, so there is nothing to introduce. The glacial fortress is a bit interesting. There is also a legendary story, do you want to listen to it? "Mary looked at Yi Xuan with a smile and asked.
"Don't sell it, let's talk about it." Yi Xuan turned over and began to bake his back.
"It is said that a long time ago, in the north of this frozen wilderness, there was a powerful kingdom. At that time, it was not so cold. This country was ruled by a wise king who gave birth to two daughters, both very beautiful and well-behaved. , It's just a pity that the eldest daughter has been cursed since she was a child, possessing the ability to control ice and snow, and as she grows up, this ability becomes more and more difficult to control.
In order to cover up his daughter's ability and to protect her, the king built a dungeon and locked the eldest daughter in. Even her sister couldn’t meet. The eldest daughter spent many years alone in solitude, and finally reached the year when she was 18 years old. Her ice power could no longer be controlled and began to spread outward. When the king discovered that the ground of the castle began to freeze in the summer, in order to protect his kingdom, he decided to kill the eldest daughter, but the younger daughter knew about it. The two of them played together since they were young. The relationship was deep, so she couldn't bear it, so she quietly opened the door of the dungeon and let the eldest daughter go.
The old king executed his little daughter in a rage, and the eldest daughter who had escaped, after hearing the news on the road, fell into endless anger, causing the energy in her body to explode, and she returned to her kingdom alone. The whole country was buried with cold, ice and snow. "Although it's just a story, Mary still tells a sad face, and it seems that she feels wronged for the two daughters.
However, as a man, Yi Xuan's emotions are naturally not as delicate as Mary's. After listening to it, his face is a little weird: "Why does this story sound so familiar? It seems to have been heard from somewhere."
"How could you have heard that, you have never been here again."
"Uh~, maybe you have heard it on Earth before, no matter what, then tell me what is going on with this glacier fortress? Does it have anything to do with the story you just told?"
"Of course it matters. The Glacier Fortress is the main background of this story. The last part of the inhabitants of the kingdom live there. However, they were also killed by the Ice Queen and turned into a group of undead guarding the endless ice field. The gate. If you want to challenge the ice queen in the endless ice field, you must defeat them first."
Yi Xuan nodded, "Oh, that is to say, after this ten-person copy, is the copy of the Queen of Ice?" This design is a bit similar to some games that have been played before. If you want to enter a large copy, you must first get through the front. A small copy of. "Then what is the level of this copy of the Snow Queen? Has anyone ever played it?"
Mary shook her head, "Not yet. This copy belongs to the content of the new information chapter, so far, it has not appeared. There are no creatures on the endless ice sheet. According to some players, the endless ice sheet has no end. Yes, along the way, there is only endless cold and dead silence, and there will never be an end. People who have been there are either frozen to death or they can only look back. But this is indeed very difficult. It is a copy of forty people. Oh."
Yi Xuan nodded, "I understand."
Mary immediately asked with a look of expectation: "Then do you plan to hit this forty-man dungeon? Such a dungeon must be very rewarding, right?"
Yi Xuan smiled slightly: "Fenghou is of course, after all, it is a copy of the forty difficulty. However, I don't plan to play. It is too difficult and too risky. Now I can earn reward points safely and steadily. No need. Take such a big risk. Okay, let's start with those low-level dungeons first."
